BE PREPARED FOR THE PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON

Hurricanes in Georgia?  Yes! According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Georgia is at particular risk of being affected by hurricanes because it is a coastal state.  The hurricanes that affect Georgia are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane season lasts from June 1st until November 30th, but the majority of activity is from August until October.  Therefore, every state resident should plan what to do in the event of an evacuation.

What Makes Champion Different?

I recently sent out a short survey through email and asked my co-workers, "What do you think sets us apart from our competitors?"

Here are some of the replies I received.

Brett Bishop, Mitigation Crew Leader: "We offer the World's Fastest Drying!"

Larry Banach, Construction Manager:  "The people."

Gary Anderson, General Manager:  "Champion is a close knit, family based organization comprised of individuals that truly care about giving their customers the best service experience available in our industry."

Jerry Quarles, Estimator:  "As a family owned & operated business, we have grown large enough to have the ability to help many families within a large coverage area while we have maintained small town values, never viewing our customers as a “number” but, rather, as a neighbor in need."

What do YOU think makes us different? Tell us what you like about our company and what you would like to see different.

13 Inches of Standing Water - What a Mess!

Recently in Jonesboro, we dried a house that had flooded resulting in 13 inches of standing water in the crawl space. It took 3 days to pump all of the water out of the crawl space. The dirt had turned into mud and the structure was completly saturated.

I Am a First Time Blogger

I work in the mitigation department at Champion Construction Systems. We dry structures that have been damaged by water. It's pretty cool actually. I am glad that we can say with confidence that we have the fastest drying system.

Hands-On Wood Floor Drying for Water Damage Restoration CE Course# 34703

Today is our first hands on hardwood floor drying and restoration course in our new 1500 square foot flood house.  This is a house that we built on our premises just for training our employees, insurance professionals and other restoration contractors.  I am excited to make this week's presentation to a full class of 28 agents and adjusters from local agencies. 

Today hardwood flooring makes up 13% of all new flooring sales.  The ability to dry hardwood flooring effectively is one of the most important tasks that a restoration contractor needs to understand.    Yet, when these floors are affected by water damage they are almost always removed by restoration contractors.  We will demonstrate how Champion properly dries hardwood flooring saving our clients precious time and money.

This is a great opportunity for agents and adjusters to better understand how they can assist their clients when they suffer the effects of flooding and water damage by utilizing Champion's unique services .

Check the "Agent Area" on our web site to see when this and other Continuing Education courses will be offered again in the near future.
